An innovative learning experience

A UBC BCom is more than just the sum of Commerce courses you complete. Employers value business graduates with a mix of interests because flexibility + creativity = the ability to tackle any career challenge.

Choose your electives from courses offered by many of UBC’s faculties and schools. Film Studies, Law and Society, Astronomy, Languages—explore whatever appeals to you. Sample a broad selection of subjects or focus on one exclusively to earn a minor. You can also use some of your electives to complete one of our four concentrations. Collaborate with students from every faculty—from Mathematics to Music and Business to Biology—in UBC Sauder’s introductory Entrepreneurship course. Open to students from across UBC, this innovative course is the first of its kind aimed at equipping students with an entrepreneurial perspective early in their education so they can apply it as they progress through their program. Invent something new. Take our New Venture Design course and team up with engineering students to create consumer products with business plans that have real-world impact. Or work with early-stage technology companies in areas like market analysis and customer development as they grow their businesses under the guidance of CDL Vancouver.

Compete in local and international case competitions— UBC Sauder students took the top prize at the 2020 L’Oréal Brandstorm National Finals in Montreal, Quebec and the 2019 Milgard Invitational Case Competition on Social Responsibility in Tacoma, Washington. Or help plan and run UBC Sauder’s own Sauder Summit Global Case Competition at which a dozen teams from five continents tackle complex business challenges to compete for top honours. Develop your leadership skills. Run for student government, manage a team to organize a conference, or take advantage of UBC’s leadership development programs like Leading with Confidence—a year-long curriculum of online learning, workshops, and one-onone leadership coaching. Expand your expertise in programming and information systems as you build a foundation in business through the BCom Combined Major in Business and Computer Science.
